SOUL SEARCH
The Zackie Stories Book 1
BY REYNA FAVIS
Blurb
What if everything you knew about the afterlife was wrong? Welcome to Fia’s world.
Fia hates the dead. With bleeding wounds and broken bodies, the spirits infect her with the anguish of their last living moments. Thrust into adult life after a childhood spent in an institution, the assaults escalate, and the world thinks she owns the deluxe edition of crazy.
Fia needs a dead-free zone if she’s going to learn how to cope with life among the living. Convinced that the woods are empty and safe, she signs on with a wilderness search and rescue team.
Bad assumption. Big mistake. There is no relief from the demanding dead.
When Fia witnesses a psychopomp leading a dead boy through a portal to the afterlife, she is frantic to learn the secret of how to free herself from the dead. Can she overcome her necrophobia and serve the Guide of Souls?
For listeners who enjoy a riveting tale with surprises at every turn. Soul Search will keep you listening till the end.
[Soul Search is the first novel of the Zackie Stories. Soul Scent and Soul Sign are available on Amazon. Soul Seek, Book 4 in the series, will be released in 2021.
Available as ebook, paperback, and on Kindle Unlimited.]

About Author Reyna Favis...
REYNA FAVIS gleefully writes tales of supernatural suspense while dust gathers on the vacuum cleaner. Her novels have been praised by readers for the very human stories behind the hauntings that create unexpected plot twists, drama, and even moments of humor. Reyna is a K9 handler for search and rescue and can frequently be found on her belly as she is dragged through the woods by a search dog. If you do not enjoy walks in the woods, she invites you to connect with her on Facebook. Reyna has a PhD in biology and was one lab accident away from becoming a super villain before she took up writing. She lives as an unapologetic introvert with her husband, dogs and cats in New Jersey.

GARLIC ROASTED POTATOES
This is an easy recipe that tastes so good, my husband declared that it couldn’t possibly be good for him. I originally found the recipe on the Food Network (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/garlic-roasted-potatoes-recipe-1913067)
Ingredients
3 pounds small red or white potatoes
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves) — add more to taste (I add LOTS)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (I usually don’t have this, so I omit)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning. (I flip maybe once. I’m lazy like that.)
Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

Thanks, Karen and Reyna….
Thanks for taking a look, Kathleen. The potatoes are easy to make and delicious. 😁
Good morning, Reyna, and welcome to Karen’s Killer Fixin’s. I have a variation of this recipe and haven’t made it in ages. So delicious! I’m intrigued by the combination of paranormal and suspense. Fia sounds like a great character. Thanks for sharing your new book with us today!
Thank you for giving SOUL SEARCH space at your place!
Hi,your book sounds very intriguing I love the sound of it and I really love the book cover also! Thank you for sharing your garlic roasted potatoes recipe with us,they sound delicious. Have a Great weekend and stay safe.
Hi Alicia,
I’m so glad SOUL SEARCH appeals to you! The dog on the cover is actually the inspiration for the Zackie character. She is a search dog who served as a trailing K9 on numerous searches and is now training to certify as a cadaver dog. Just like the Zackie character, she’s kind of sassy.
recipe sounds good
It’s really good and it’s super easy. Give it a shot!
bn100, you won the free SOUL SEARCH audiobook. Congrats!
Yummy 😋 For the Recipe and YAY 🙌 For the Book 📚
Both of them look really good.
Hi Linda,
I hope you enjoy both!
Best,
Reyna
